High School Athletics and Club Activities
At the grounds behind the school on Sycamore and Sixth streets, girls form five basketball teams while boys play on a separate corner field. Captains Ellen Hanley, Gertrude Herr, Maude Vanatta, Mildred Ruffner, and Florence Miller lead, with plans for dark blue uniforms trimmed in cardinal. The senior class picnic at the Hanley cottage is noted, and English class work on describing beds yields amusing results. Boys’ gridiron wear varies with red hose, white jackets, gray, or stripes, and occasional football mishaps provide comic chaos as girls join in. The piece also remarks on historic references to football and King James I’s ban due to hawking.
